Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and soon.
No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn’t at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.
When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Does the constantly changing fashion of women"s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanged styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.
小题1:The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the of clothing
___ .
A.comfort | B.appearance | C.cost | D.suitability |
A.Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women. |
B.The constant changes in women"s clothing reflect their strength of character. |
C.The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society. |
D.New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women. |
A.women’s inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at |
B.women are better able to put up with discomfort |
C.men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers |
D.men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion |
答案
小题1:A
小题2:D
小题3:D
解析
小题1:A 推理题。根据第三段2,3行Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. They are only interested in outward appearance可知如果设计者关注服装的舒适的时候,作者就不会批评他们。
小题2:D 推理题。根据文章第2段1,2行Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn.可知新的时尚的出现主要是为了挣女性口袋里的钱。
小题3:D 猜测句义题。根据本段内容可知男性在服装商更理性。故D正确。

举一反三
Throughout our lives we are going to face many challenges and pains, but we should never let these obstacles keep us from following our dreams. We must overcome every obstacle one small step at a time.
As a young girl, my parents forced me to do so many things that I didn’t like. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music and I also hated them. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched(丰富) my life in so many ways. I now realize that my parents and teachers wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.
We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just part of our life. They might seem so huge at the time, but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel if we had no challenges and lived a life like that. Life would be really boring and meaningless. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps(碰撞) on our road to success, we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!
小题1:The underlined word “obstacles” (in Paragraph 2) roughly means things that ______.
A.are related to your studies |
B.you easily achieve |
C.make you happy |
D.make it difficult for you to do something |
A.She is fearful | B.She is grateful |
C.She feels trapped | D.She feels hateful |
A.life without challenges is dull |
B.life needs no pains but sunshine and happiness |
C.we should give up faced with challenges as the future is ours |
D.we shouldn’t easily pay a little hard work in growing up |
A.life is full of hardships |
B.growing pains can turn into growing gains in a positive way |
C.everyone is painful in growing up |
D.everyone should do what they don’t like when young |
51 The worst thing you can do is ignore it. Too often parents feel children and teens need to “work things out” on their own. If the problem is ignored, your child’s self-esteem will become unhealthy, he will be hurt mentally or physically, and he could become a bully himself.
Here are five steps you can take if your child is having problems with a bully:
52 This is an important first step and will help your child trust that you are able to help him with his problem. Accept what he has to say at face value by using your active listening skills.
Let your child know that he is not alone. 53 Reassure your child that he is not the problem. Nothing he did caused the bully to go after him.
If your child is being threatened in a physical or illegal way at school, report the problem. Your child may not want you to do this, or the school may not take it seriously, but violence cannot be tolerated. 54 You will need to model assertive (果断的) behavior by alerting those in charge where the bullying is taking place.
Teach your child assertive behavior and how to ignore routine teasing. Let them know it is okay to say “No.” sometimes even friends bully, so letting your child know they can be true to their own feelings and say “No” can go a long way.
55 Giving up possessions or giving in to a bully in anyway encourages the bully to continue. Identify ways for your child to respond to a bully---showing assertive but not aggressive behavior---and role-play them.
A.Believe what your child tells you. |
B.Encourage your child not to give in to a bully. |
C.Praise your child for being brave enough to talk about it. |
D.Bullying is a terrible situation for a child to have to cope with. |
F. Most children have to deal with some type of bullying behavior at one time or another.
G. If your child comes to you because a bully is bothering him, you need to pay close attention to the problem.
★What do you do with it?
Go to a telephone box marked "Phone-card".Put in your card to start, make your phone call and when you have finished, the screen will tell you how much is left on your card.It costs no extra for the cards, and the calls cost 10 p(便士) per unit, the same as any other pay-phone call.You can buy it in units of 10, 20, 40, 50, or 100.
★Appear in a shop nearby.
Near each card-phone place, you will find a shop where you can buy one.They are at bus, train or metro stations.At universities, hospitals, clubs, restaurants and shopping centers, you can also buy it.
★No more broken pay-phones.
It is possible that many pay-phones don"t work because they have been damaged. There are no coins in a card-phone to excite the thieves" interest in it.So you are not probably to find a broken one.
Get a phone-card yourself and try it out.Or get a bigger wallet.
小题1:The passage is most probably ____.
A.a warning | B.a notice |
C.an advertisement | D.an announcement |
A.a shop | B.a coin | C.a pay-phone | D.a phone-card |
A.you have got a bigger wallet than others |
B.it"s convenient to make calls with a phone card |
C.the phone box might have been damaged |
D.there are many different kinds of phone-cards |
Most of my earliest childhood memories are of the beach — in the hot sun, building sandcastles, burying Dad in the sand.
Now the coast has a pleasant and relaxing attraction beyond words. I look forward to a windy cliff-top walk or a rainy day rock-picking just as much as those rare moments when I get to a short sleep in the sun. But there’s nothing more pleasurable than turning up at a beach to find it deserted.
These are my favourite secret beaches — ones either not well known or take a bit of effort to get to. Most of those listed scored highly in the Marine Conservation Society Good Beach Guide 2009; the others are too secret even for them.
Sennen Clove is just a mile northeast of Land’s End, the westernmost point of mainland England. It’s a beautiful spot, with white sands, deep green sea and amazing sunsets over the Isles (群岛) of Scilly, 28 miles away.
The west-facing beach is popular with surfers, with bigger waves and winds often found at the Gwenver end. There’s a beach restaurant with good views of the bay and the sunsets.
The smallest of Isles of Scilly, Bryher is a mile long, half a mile wide — and a natural wilderness of unbelievable scenery. Walk along the narrow sandy roads to the eastern seaboard and you come to two quiet beaches.
Green Bay has views over to the palm trees of Tresco’s Abbey Gardens, and a little further south is Rushy Bay, a beautiful beach facing the deserted island of Samson.
On Bryher, farm shops sell locally grown produce, and they trust you to leave the money in the pot. It’s that kind of place.
小题1:The best title for this passage is ________.
A.The Beautiful British Isles |
B.Secret Beaches on the British Isles |
C.The Most Pleasurable Place in Britain |
D.My Experience of Searching Beaches |
A.The author is a tourist guide in a tourist agency. |
B.The author likes walking on a rainy cliff-top most. |
C.The author wrote the article to advertise for the beaches. |
D.The author loves beaches that are not known to most people. |
(LE="Land’s" End SC="Sennen" Cove IS="the" Isles of Scilly)
小题4:In the author’s view, farmers on Bryher are ________.
A.sincere | B.selfish | C.courageous | D.mean |
Step 1: Gear up!
Even before you put on your skates, put on all your safety gear(护具).
Step 2: Buckle up!
Strap(绑紧)on your skates. Make sure they fit well and are snugly(紧贴)around your ankles. This helps your ankles stay strong and straight.
Step 3: Fall down!
You probably do not usually try to fall. But it is good to practice falling on skates. Fall forward onto your knee pads. Put out your hands and let your wrist guards hit the ground. See? Are you surprised that it doesn’t hurt?
Practice falling until it is easy to fall forward and get up again. If you are not afraid to fall, you will try new things. Knowing how to fall will help you be a better skater and find your balance. When you can stay balanced, you won’t fall as much.
Step 4: Stop!
Make sure you can stop on your skates. The quickest and safest is probably the brake stop. The brake is usually on the back of the right skate.
The brake stop:
Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Let your right skate roll a little forward. Bend your knees as if you are sitting down. Then press your right heel down hard. This will make your brake pad drag on the ground until you stop.
The T stop:
Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Then turn your right foot out so the toes are pointing to your right. Drag your right skate. Let the wheels drag on the ground until you come to a stop.
Another way to stop is to run or jump onto the grass.
Step 5: Roll around!
Find a flat, smooth place to practice. Do not skate in streets. Parks and playgrounds are good places to practice. Look for “No skating” signs to make sure you can skate there.
小题1:According to the article, which of these steps are most important for a new skater?
A.Learn to fall and stop safely. |
B.Find a class and skate fast. |
C.Relax and have fun. |
D.Buy expensive gear and skates. |
A.skate fast | B.brake | C.fall safely | D.put on gear |
A.turn your foot |
B.press your right heel down |
C.put your wrists out in front |
D.tighten your skates |
A.It tells stories about skating. |
B.It gives descriptions of skates. |
C.It uses a question-and-answer form. |
D.It gives step-by-step instructions. |
